What?
This is a copied article just to store a permanent reference for if I ever need to build an app similar to the file explorer in the Microsoft Windows OS.
Why?
I had an app for use in MS Windows 7 to display the properties of sound files though this is also applicable to media files in general.

How?
So first I'm going to list a function I use called "Filexpro()", then list some examples of usage. And in the second-to-last section, I'll quickly convert a 100 nanoseconds unit to display Hours : Minutes : Seconds.
